Carole Baskin, Chrishell Stause Join ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 29 Cast

Dancing with the Stars is cha-cha-ing its way into Season 29. This morning, ABC announced the DWTS Season 29 cast, a group that includes Tiger King star Carole Baskin, Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause (formerly Hartley), Nelly, and more. Talk about a stacked cast.

The full list of Dancing with the Stars Season 29 cast members is as follows, per ABC:

Last month, ABC announced this season’s lineup of professional dancers, and fans can expect many returning faces. Alan Bersten, Val Chmerkovskiy, Sasha Farber, Emma Slater, and more top talent will be appearing throughout the season, as well as DWTS‘ beloved married couples. But unlike previous years, they will be forced to live apart from their spouses to prevent COVID-19 from spreading to other members of the show’s cast and crew.

That’s not the only change coming to DWTS Season 29. Earlier this summer, longtime hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews announced that they would be leaving the show after many years. The duo will be replaced by supermodel and actress Tyra Banks, who also serves as an executive producer on the show.

“As we gear up for the show’s 29th season, we can’t wait to welcome Tyra Banks to our Dancing stage,” said Karey Burke, president of ABC entertainment, when Banks’ casting was announced. “Tyra is an award-winning multihyphenate whose fierce female prowess and influence across many industries have made an indelible mark. Her fresh take on America’s favorite dancing competition will surely bring more than a ‘Smize’ to fans everywhere.”

Dancing with the Stars Season 29 premieres Monday, September 14 at 8/7c on ABC. Episodes will air on demand and on Hulu the following day.
